OIL-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 11, 1918.

Application sled June 5, 191e. serial No. 101,842.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, ALBERT DEEM, a citizen of'the United States, and a resident of Indianapolis, county of Marion, and State of Indiana, have invented a certain new and useful Oil-Burner; and I do hereby declare that the following is a' full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which like letters refer to like parts.

This invention relates to an oil burner for furnaces and the like, adapted to take the place of the ordinary type of oil burner. It has been specially constructed so that carbon will not be formed from the burned oil on the walls of the furnace, and while it burns atan even and steady heat, it uses only half of the oil that the ordinary burner uses.

One of the features of this invention is the needle valve which is externally adjustable for controlling the oil outlet and the spray. This needle valve also is adapted to clean the outlet when it becomes clogged, so that by a simple operation any clogging material may be removed without taking the burner of.

Still ,another feature of the invention is the oil reservoir which will catch and hold all dirt and foreign matter, so as to prevent the clogging of the outlet, there being means in said reservoir for opening it and removing the deposits.

The full nature of the invention will be understood from the accompanying drawings and the following description and claims.

In the drawing, Figure 1 is a side elevaf tion of the burner. Fig. 2 is a central vertical cross section through the burner showing the needle valve and damper closed. F ig. 3 is the same as Fig. 2 showing the needle valve and damper open. Fig. 4 is a front elevation of the burner. Fig. 5 is a cross section on the line 5--5 of Fig. 3.

In the drawings there is shown a burner having a casing 10 with a nozzle casing 11 adapted to be tightly screwed on the end thereof. In said casing there is an oil inlet chamber 12 into which an oil line ,13 opens. Separated from said oil chamber by an upwardly extending partition 14, there is a reservoir 15 which is adapted to catch any foreign substance or matter which may be deposited by the oil passing over it. Said reservoir has a removable valve outlet 16 which may be utilized in draining and cleansing the burner.

Extending longitudinally of the casing 10 there is an inclosed passageway 17 having an end cap 18 secured to the end thereof; through the center of said end cap there is a small passage or opening 19 which serves as an oil outlet, through which the oil is forced under pressure. Extending longitudinally through said' passageway there is a valve rod 20 having a handle 21 and a needle point 22 on its other end which has a beveled portion adapted to seat in the opening of the valve 19 with a projection adapted to extend through said opening of valve. There is a cap 23 on the other end of the casing through which the valve rod 20 is adapted to extend, said cap being 'l adapted to extend into a stuffing box 24 for pressing the stuiiing and-preventing any leakage therethrough. There is an air chamber 25 which surrounds the oil passage way 17 and the cap 18 and has an inlet 26 suitably connected to a pressure pump or compressed air chamber not shown herein. Said inlet is regulated by a butterfly valve or damper 27 therein which is secured to a shaft 28 on which there are handles 29 for i shutting off or adjusting the air supply. In the end of the cap 11, there is an opening 30 through which the mixture passes into the furnace.

It will therefore be readily seen that the oil in passing through the burner will deposit any sediment or foreign matter in the; chamber 15 which may be easily drained and cleaned, and should any sediment iind its way to the outlet 19 sutlicient to clog it up, it may be forced out by the needle end of the valve rod 20 without removing any part or parts of the burner. The air adjustment is always fixed to the burner, and may be regulated by means of the damper 27, so that the proper mixture may be obtained, thereby eliminating the loss of oil and the formation of carbon on the walls of the furnace. The casing 11 has a curved end such as will produce and form a current of air in such a way that when it comes in contact with the oil stream, it will produce a tine spray, due to the pressure exerted in said casing and the reduced outlet 30.

The invention claimed is:

1. Anl oil burner having a housing, an oilchamber in said housing having an in- 'iet tiieiieo an nii1 cneiniiei having en inlet,
